Chapter 40: Dismantling the Human Allied Forces from Within!

~7 min read 1,368 words

"Could this woman be a reborn soul?"

Once this thought erupted, Lu Chuan felt that it was nine times out of ten exactly as he had guessed.

Lin Xueer had already been controlled; it was impossible for her to lie while recounting such matters, and more crucially, there was the period of time before he was placed into the poisonous pit by the other party, when she had suddenly undergone a drastic change in temperament!

From then on, this person, Jiang Luoli, seemed to have the ability to foresee many things! If this drastic change in temperament and the ability to foresee the future were because Jiang Luoli had suddenly encountered a miraculous opportunity and soared to the heavens, then even if she were a genius, she could not have grown to her current level.

In these few exchanges, Lu Chuan had already experienced many of the other party's strange methods, especially the speed of Jiang Luoli's cultivation progress; it did not look at all like someone who had just awakened, but rather like an old monster who had been reborn and was simply walking the path she had once walked again.

Only in this way could Jiang Luoli's growth be so rapid.

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Chuan felt this was the case; after all, on the Blue Star where he lived in his previous life, many web novels with imaginative premises were produced, and those concerning this aspect were everywhere, which was why he had such a judgment.

To the side, a look of fawning gradually filled Lin Xueer's eyes, and she began to curry favor, "Master, seeing that you are so curious about Jiang Luoli, why don't... I send people to monitor that woman closely?"

"In this way, from now on, whenever she does anything, I can inform you, Master, at the first opportunity."

Although Lin Xueer still had her own thoughts after being controlled by the Soul-Seizing Pupil and understood what she was facing and what she was doing, from this day forward, everything she did was centered on Lu Chuan, and she considered Lu Chuan's thoughts and interests in all things.

"Don't be too deliberate!"

Lu Chuan had originally wanted to use Lin Xueer to scout for human information, and now that he knew of Jiang Luoli's abnormality, he naturally agreed with Lin Xueer's suggestion, but after agreeing, he added a word of caution, "But don't let her notice!"

"Alright, your Powerful Group will cancel the operation this time; withdraw everyone first thing tomorrow morning, leave no one behind!"

During the day, he had already witnessed the terrifying nature of the Powerful Group's technological weapons; if they did not have their support, Lu Chuan was not particularly worried about relying solely on those Ability Users.

"Understood."

Opposite him, Lin Xueer nodded heavily, and once Lu Chuan had no further instructions, she immediately went to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, Jiang Luoli sent someone to contact the Powerful Group to remind Lin Xueer that she should prepare, as it was time to launch a new round of pursuit against the Snake King, but a few minutes later, her subordinate hurried back with an ugly expression, "Miss, the Powerful Group... has withdrawn!"

"Withdrawn?"

Hearing this, Jiang Luoli was stunned, and immediately her face was filled with anger, "How could they suddenly make this decision? And they withdrew quietly without even telling me?"

"Miss, the reply from over there is like this..."

Seeing her rage, the subordinate could not help but lower their posture even further, "Yesterday, reporters reported that the Snake King was dead, and now the Powerful Group has also verified that there is no trace of the Snake King's remains, so they withdrew."

"Moreover, now that the major groups feel there is no profit to be made and they cannot use the Snake King's blood to refine Snake King Pills, they have all given up on the pursuit and do not intend to continue getting involved..."

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Luoli was furious, directly interrupting her subordinate's words, and she did not hide her anger at all, "The Snake King is not dead at all!"

"Lin Xueer, that idiot! She's ruined my big plan!" She could not understand how Lin Xueer could have made such a stupid decision after just one night.

If Lin Xueer believed the Snake King was dead, why didn't she announce the withdrawal when the reporters reported it yesterday, instead of waiting until a night had passed to make this decision! Therefore, Jiang Luoli had reason to suspect that Lin Xueer was setting her up! As both were young ladies of their respective groups, they naturally competed with each other in daily life, so it was normal for such a thing to happen now.

But she knew in her heart that, according to the current progress of the Spiritual Energy Revival and the strength of the Evolvers, they could not yet fully resist modern weapons such as artillery and missiles; there were many modern weapons among them that could threaten Beasts and Evolvers, otherwise that giant tiger and the Heibao would not have been beaten by them until they had nowhere to flee and were shivering while waiting for death.

Only when a large number of Shackle Realm experts appeared among the Evolvers would modern technological weapons gradually become obsolete; for now, she still could not do without the help of modern weapons.

And if she lost the support of the Powerful Group, her operation this time would very likely fail, and all the efforts she had made previously would be in vain!

After all, the Changsheng Group was second to none in pharmaceuticals, but it did not possess those advanced weapons! Given the growth speed of that 'Poison King', the next time they met, perhaps it would no longer fear any modern weapons! Thinking of this, Jiang Luoli felt a headache, and she cursed Lin Xueer incessantly in her heart!

"Boss, you're back!"

Deep in the mountains, a group of Beast subordinates saw Lu Chuan return and immediately stepped forward excitedly to welcome him.

They had previously followed Lu Chuan's instructions to wait in this place, thinking that this would be their future home, but after Lu Chuan returned, he didn't even have time to rest before telling all his Beast subordinates, "We can't stay here; we must leave as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Lu Chuan looked at his group of Beast subordinates, his mood somewhat urgent.

After experiencing this battle, he intended to leave the Jianghai area temporarily; after all... Jiang Luoli's base camp was in Jianghai, and she could come over at any time.

And he was not yet confident in dealing with that woman, Jiang Luoli; he did not know what other deadly trump cards she had in her hands, and his own subordinates could not resist those weapons.

At the thought of the bow in Jiang Luoli's hands, Lu Chuan felt a headache!

"However, it's not that I have absolutely no strength or opportunity to fight back!"

After pondering for a while, Lu Chuan thought that he possessed the Swallowing Evolution System, so his growth speed would definitely be faster than Jiang Luoli's; when his strength became even greater, he would go find that woman to take revenge!

This time, Lu Chuan also had a relatively clear understanding of his body's capabilities; at least he was no longer afraid of human rocket launchers and other such means, so as long as he was careful, there would be no problem.

"Boss, where are we going then?"

Just as he was pondering, Xiaoqing raised its head and asked on behalf of the other Beast subordinates, its eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan cast his gaze to the side and said in a deep voice, "To the Qinling Mountains!"

"The terrain there is steep and dangerous, and it's not too far from here; it won't take long to arrive!"

What he didn't say was that in such great mountains, the number of Beasts and Spirit Fruits inside would definitely exceed those of the Dali mountain range.

Once he went there, his strength would soar like a rocket! (End of chapter)
